Music Notes:


Saturday at the 5 pm Vigil Mass, the School Choir (directed by Rebecca Monson)
leads Music, and School Grade One are Lectors. Grade One also honors
Our Blessed Mother with a procession of flowers, a procession of symbols,
a Hymn ("Bring Flowers of the Rarest").


Sunday at 11 am, the choir sings a Hieronymous Praetorius (1560-1629)
motet (Psalm 145:15-16) which continues the Responsorial Psalm proper
for today: Oculi omnium in te sperant Domine, et tu das escam illorum
in tempore opportuno. Aperis tu manem tuam, et imples omne animal
benedictione (The eyes of all look hopefully to you O Lord,
and you give them their food in due season.
You open wide your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing).


Marcel Dupre (1886-1971) worked at Paris Conservatory (1926-56)
and St Sulpice (1906-71). At Notre Dame (substituting for Louis Vierne),
his 15 Vespers improvisations were heard by Rolls-Royce director
Claude Johnson, who offered 1500 francs and publication by Novello & Co
if they were written out. Dupre did [Fifteen Pieces (Opus 18, 1919)]
and the next year was invited to perform them in England for the
Prince of Wales; this launched the concertizing component of his career.
